Swansea City AFC
Formed in 1912, Swansea City AFC became the first Welsh club to be promoted to the Premier League in 2011.
The Swans enjoyed seven years playing against the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal in English football’s top flight, and also won the club’s first major trophy via the League Cup in 2013, which led to a Europa League adventure the following season.
The 2024-25 season marks their seventh consecutive campaign in the Championship – one division below the Premier League.
A club with a strong identity of possession-based football, the Swans are also passionate about its fanbase and the community it serves.
The club has fronted campaigns to help homeless people in the city, and has strengthened its links with local organisations by developing its charity of the year initiative.
In April 2021, it became the first club in world football to boycott its social media channels after some players were the targets of racism online.
We’re delighted that Swansea City AFC has chosen us as their official charity partner for the Cwtsh Clos appeal for the 2024-25 season. It’s a great fit with both of us serving all of south west Wales.

Principality Building Society
Owned and run for the benefit of half a million members, it is the largest building society in Wales and the sixth largest in the UK, taking care of more than £12bn of its customers’ assets.
Originally established to provide funding for new homes, it has maintained its purpose to support homeowners throughout its 160-year history.
It is now one of Wales’ largest businesses offering savings, mortgages and commercial lending.
Since 2014 the Principality Building Society has raised more than £1m to support its charity partners, with every penny going towards supporting Welsh communities.
It has supported services for people with MS, mental health services, cancer research projects and outreach nurses, centres which provide training and qualifications for young people and has seen 450 colleagues train as Dementia Friends.
It has donated 30 fundraising places in the Principality Cardiff Half Marathon in 2024, with the money raised by the runners going to our Cwtsh Clos appeal.
Advocates and Angels
Bethan and David Germon set up Advocates and Angels during lockdown and continued to develop the charity after they lost their beautiful little girl, Lydia, aged just four, in 2020.
Lydia had been born with an extremely rare genetic condition and needed specialised care in Singelton and Morriston hospitals.
Unselfishly, following Lydia’s passing Bethan channelled her grief into something productive, positive and inspiring to help others by providing support for those whose children have been diagnosed with disabilities or life-limiting conditions.
The charity also provides self-care packages for parents whose children are in hospital, helping them keep clean and calm during those stressful times.
They can be found on every children’s ward in Wales and are available for any family who needs them in an emergency. And now, as part of Advocates and Angels’ support for the Cwtsh Clos appeal, self-care packages will be placed in each of the five houses.
Leon Heart Fund
Julie Montanari set up the Leon Heart Fund in memory of her son. It provides grants to support children in hospital and their families.
Leon was born at Singleton Hospital in 1996 with a rare heart defect which resulted in a transplant before his first birthday.
As Leon received treatment throughout his life at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, Bristol Children’s Hospital and the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, Julie became used to sleeping on hospital floors.
Both she and Leon noticed that some parents could not visit their children while they were having treatment because they were single parents, had other children to look after or couldn’t afford to travel. Julie has also known parents who have been forced to sleep in their cars.
“It always bothered Leon and he wanted to make a difference to those people,” said Julie, who lost Leon in 2009 when he was 13.
She is backing our Cwtsh Clos appeal to give a facelift to the gardens of this all important on-site accommodation, donating £5,000.

Swansea University
Swansea Bay University Health Board clinicians work closely with researchers at Swansea University to improve cancer diagnosis and find new and better treatments.
Thanks to generous donations people having cancer treatment are now benefiting from far more targeted radiotherapy.
This is due to a partnership between the South West Wales Cancer Centre at Singleton Hospital and the university, which started in spring 2024 and has been funded by £73,000 from the South West Wales Cancer Fund, one of the funds that comes under the umbrella of Swansea Bay Health Charity.

The money pays for sessions on a very high-spec MRI scanner owned by Swansea University and located in the ILS2 building on the Singleton campus.
These MRI scans can take place on the same day as a CT scan in the hospital just 200 yards away, helping doctors to build up the most accurate picture when planning radiotherapy, meaning the treatment is more targeted and can be started quicker. Previously, the scans would have been done on separate occasions.
Moondance Cancer Initiative
Moondance Cancer Initiative exists to find, fund and fuel brilliant people and brave ideas to make Wales a world leader in cancer survival.
There are currently 18 active projects being funded by the Initiative across Wales including the expansion of the Rapid Diagnosis Centre in Swansea Bay and the introduction of transnasal endoscopy.
A donation of more than £160,000 from Moondance led to the development of a unique blood test to make sure bowel cancer had not returned in those who have already survived the disease.
Guidelines require these patients to have a follow-up colonoscopy after a given period to check they remain cancer-free. But the blood test was developed as a quicker alternative after delays caused by Covid.
Moondance funded a £700,000 two-year pilot expansion of services in the Rapid Diagnosis Centre at Neath Port Talbot Hospital, which offers rapid testing and diagnosis for people with symptoms that could be cancer.
NHS Charities Together
NHS Charities Together is the national charity helping the NHS to thrive and making sure everyone can get the healthcare they deserve.

- – Improving patient care
- – Ensuring everyone has access to health services and is able to live healthy lives
- – Making sure our incredible NHS staff are cared for
Over the past four years it has put more than £120m of donations into action to help support NHS staff, patients and communities.
A grant to Swansea Bay Health Charity from NHS Charities Together made a £100,000 project to make a lasting tribute to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic possible.
Stone seating pods with timber benches, inlaid with handmade clay tiles, were built at Morriston, Singleton, Neath Port Talbot and Cefn Coed Hospitals.
